[i]re: aag Is there a comparable add-on for MM5?[/i]
I have not found one, and not having this functionality is one of the main things keeping me on MM4.

I too would appreciate if anyone knows how to get similar functionality in MM5.

Is there a comparable Add-On for MM5?

Thanks for this. One minor issue I always had a problem with was accidentally adding multiple versions of the same song in a playlist. Like when you have the original release of an album, the 25th anniversary remaster, then a greatest hits collection, etc. There's no quick, visual way to determine if a song was in a playlist without checking either each playlist, or copy of the song. This allows me to easily see which copy of the song is in the playlist. That it can show a playlist count, and list which playlists it's in is an added bonus.

It only just occurred to me last night to check if there was some custom script that helped with this. So, thanks! This is a much needed feature!

[size=200][color=#4000FF]Thank you for this script.
It works lovely. Thank you.[/color][/size]

I have media monkey 4 and I don´t get the box with "information". When I go on library -> tags and playlists I get a different box
I´ve copied the script to the /auto/ folder and tried to run it but I just get a message saying VBSScript can´t be found, and when I load media monkey it says a script value for the specified language cannot be found. I don´t know if this has anything to do with the fact that i´m trying to do this on a spanish computer, or that I have portable MediaMonkey? I Installed MM in English. (I have no access to an english computer)
I don´t really know anything about installing a script. I did this once before last year, but am having to do it again due to my laptop being stolen.
Many thanks,
Beth

Awesome Script! Thanks!

Bex - thanks again for this wonderful script!

I'm reverting to MM3 (runs better in a virtual machine - which is what I have to do since I'm on OSX) and saw that this gem received an update - and that you even included my suggested feature... Wow!

Yes, it's all explained in the information including a tip on how to do it faster!

Thank you Bex.

Your script has worked fantastically so far... there hasn't been a need yet
to view the help file. I will take a look.

If I understand your answer above, there is no way to remove entries in
a Custom1 field after your script is activate/updated, and must be done
in MM via another method ?

Take care.

Best regards,
Kostarena

Well, if you change which playlists are excluded the script certainly reflect that in the chosen column. The key here though is to press the Activate/Update button. But you are not allowed to exclude all playlists. Btw, did you read the information within the options? (I.e. press the information button.)

Thank you Bex.

Is there a way to 'undo' the tags your script has created (COMM) via the
script itself ? It seems once the Custom1 is populated, updating with all
playlists 'checked' doesn't remove all entries from the Custom1 field.

Kostarena.

Function GetSELECTSql(NameOrCount)
  If NameOrCount=1 Then GetSELECTSql="GROUP_CONCAT(tmpPlaylistName,' ')" 'Name
  If NameOrCount=2 Then GetSELECTSql="COUNT(*)" 'Count
  If NameOrCount=3 Then GetSELECTSql="'('||COUNT(*)||') '||GROUP_CONCAT(tmpPlaylistName,' ')" 'Both
End Function

The function should look like this to only get a space as delimiter.
[code]Function GetSELECTSql(NameOrCount)
If NameOrCount=1 Then GetSELECTSql="GROUP_CONCAT(tmpPlaylistName,' ')" 'Name
If NameOrCount=2 Then GetSELECTSql="COUNT(*)" 'Count
If NameOrCount=3 Then GetSELECTSql="'('||COUNT(*)||') '||GROUP_CONCAT(tmpPlaylistName,' ')" 'Both
End Function[/code]
You also need to Activate/Update the script. I.e. press that button in the options

Hi Bex,

I've copied and pasted the changes exactly at line 400.
I've substituted the DELIMITER with a space.
I've restarted MM and updated the playlists.

No effect.

Could I have done something different ?

Thank you.
Kostarena


[quote="Bex"]Yes, Change line 400.

1. Not from the scripts point of view but if you want to split up the playlists in another program or similar, it can be impossible if your playlists names contan spaces.

2. Yes

3. Not sure what you've done here. The script should definitely not create duplicates, unless a track exists multiple times within a playlist.

Thanks again Bex.

Your script has saved me many hours of mucking about with having to do this
in a linux bash script for each file..., worrying about commas, punctuation, encodings that
choke filenames/paths. Thank you for enabling me to escape awk/grep/sed hell!

Lastly,
1. Could there be related problems that might occur if I change the delimiter from
a semi-colon to a space ? I'm trying to seperate multiple playlists entries with a space only.

2. Are the playlist entries always going to be sorted alphabetically ?

3. if I've accidentally done this twice, they will appear twice with the same playlist name.
Is it possible to disallow duplicate entries ?
